Son of Katherine Dolecki Koper & John Koper.
He married Germaine "Virgie" Borchman on July 31, 1937, in Detroit, Michigan.
Diabetes kept him from serving in WWII along with his 5 brothers, Walter, John, Barney, Raymond, and Irvin.
Father of the late Norbert Koper, Jr. & Robert Allan Koper.
Grandfather of Tammy & Lisa Marie Koper.
He was a typical Koper.
He was a bowler, loved to play cards, & liked his beer. He probably liked to smoke a cigar, too.
We always thought that Uncle Norbie died from congestive heart failure & diabetes.
I ordered a death certificate & his cause of death is listed as compressed cervical spine. I guess he fell down the stairs at home.
Congestive heart failure & diabetes were listed as contributing factors to his death but not the cause.
